Register.
In the June 8 statewide California primary election, 35,937 of Humboldt County’s 75,404 eligible voters took the time to fill out some bubbles. Super weak. I know, I know, we’re talking about a primary in a midterm election year. Not the most thrilling stuff. So, maybe we’ll let the 53 percent who flaked on democracy […]

Humboldt Youth in Revolt
For those that attended high school locally, you’ve undoubtedly heard some form of the above sentiment. You remember the conversation. It usually came around 1 a.m., halfway through a case of Natty Ice. Simpler times. Whether the statement is valid or not depends on your standard of what makes something worth doing. It’s true, Humboldt […]
